There is a phone app called WoW Armory. For the time being, chatting with those online in your guild from your phone is free

That's right. Now I remember. That was a faction mount. That faction is gone now so new players cannot get it.

Nope, wrong again...it was never removed, just a REALLY hard grind...its now a lot easier as of 4.1

I was under the impression they removed that for LK.

Gerberah, you forgot about the hunters that forgot to take Aspect of the Fail...I mean Cheetah off. They put it on after a whipe to be able to get back to the boss faster, and then forget to take it off.
The whole Auto Shot became a joke with our guild. When it happened to one of our hunters, they would say something like, "oops auto shot". It got to where anyone else would use that as an excuse for doing it to. Our GM was on his lock at the time, and his Imp had a mind of it's own and would start a fight even with being on passive. His Imp got the nickname Auto Shot and wasn't allowed to play anymore since he couldn't play nicely.

I have that one my iPhone. I can send whispers, post in g-chat, but I can't see what others say in g-chat. I thought you would be able to.

Yes!! We call that Aspect of the Dazed and we have quite a few jokes about it. And LOL @ Auto Shot the Imp. I was in a dungeon once with a lock whose imp was glitched. Wonder if it was your GM?

That app seems fairly useless if you can't actually have a conversation in gchat. Guess it's like twitter....

Hi Guild, @ the grocery store
Hi Guild, picking up kids from school

His lock's name is Setlo, if that rings any bells.

I can get whispers. Well I sent someone a whisper and they could respond to it. When DH get home today, I'll have him log into the game and I'll get on the app to see if he can send a whisper without me sending him one first. I would be willing to pay for it (depending on how much) if I could see all of g-chat. I don't need it to send whispers to guildies. Anyone I would need to send a whisper to, I have their cell number and could just send a text to them. I think all our officers post their cell numbers in their g-notes just for that reason.

 

[Gerberah]

Setlo doesn't ring any bells. The lock didnt' stay in the dungeon long, was very frustrated with his imp and left, I'm assuming to try to figure out what was wrong.

Can you also check who is online so you know who you can whisper? I'm assuming you can.

 

[letthewookiewin]

Yes you can see who is all online. That is how I was able to send a whisper to someone.

 

[dngnb8]

Can you get whispers from guildies?

yes. Ive been talking to them all day from work. Its LOL

Yes it tells you who is online, when the log in or out etc. You can even chat with other WoW armory who login and are not in game. Was talking with one last night

 

[letthewookiewin]

dngnb8, are you able to see g-chat? I thought you would be able to see it just like you could if you were actually logged into the game, or is that not how it's supposed to work?

Yes I can. At the loaded UI, click on your guild name. It will take you to another screen with the /g prompt. You can

/g
/o
/w

in that interface and see all the chat

I can get to that screen, but all I can see is when people log in and out.

I turned 80 last night right before bed.... almost 82 now. This time I played smart, though mostly it was because I had the money. I spent about 400g to buy items before starting in Hyjal. My gear score last night was under 200 ( pre 80 ).... I bought stuff this morning and was 216, and am now at 270, I think. At level 81.... My 85 pally is only 325.

Don't know much about mages, even though I am now level 81. I know I am supposed to get as much Int as possible, but I keep getting and finding gear with more Sta than Int. So, I am 81, with 43K in health, and like 49K in Int.

Last night at level 79 my crits were about 7K..... now I have had crits over 16K... which sure makes Hyjal a breeze. "Hot Streak" seems to proc on 75% of mobs, sometimes more than once. I can't believe that I can usually drop mobs before they even get close most of the time. And I can't believe I 2 shotted a level 80 today.

I'm having a blast with this mage right now.... now if I actually learn what I am doing.... LOL

BTW, I was in an instance today - don't know the name, Tidal something? - and there was an 81 druid there with 12K less health than me... I didn't think that was possible. He was DPSing.

Click on your guild name and it should take you to another page. You wont see them online like on page one. Send a /g and watch them respond

 

[Big Cuddly Bear]

Just hit 82.... so basically 2 levels in 1 day... unheard of for me at this stage of the game... up to 297 gear. At this rate I will be ready for heroics very quickly when I hit 85.

So over the last 3 days, our guild has lost 20 members... I'm thinking it is because a lot of the 85's are forming their own groups and not letting others in on the fun. Like earlier tonight, 2 level 81's wanted to join an ICC 10, and the guy organizing it would not takke them because they were not experienced with ICC. Wouldn't take them even though they couldn't fill the group after 30 minutes of trying. Both /gquit.

This is why I hate bigger guilds. They become so impersonal. Not hat we are really big, but about 190 members after all the folks leaving. Well, characters, not people. That's a shame because we are headed towards level 16, and lots of good stuff ahead.

 

[Gerberah]

BCB, stamina is a primary stat on just about every piece of gear now. It doesn't matter if it has more stamina than intellect -- as long as it has more intellect than what you're currently wearing, it's basically an upgrade. I'm not exactly sure what the stat priority is for a fire mage (that's what you are, right?). Just remember that mages have no use for spirit, and you will probably find that on a lot of useful gear. So reforging the spirit out will give some extra haste or mastery or whatever it is you're looking for. I'm much more familiar with arcane mages, I've never done fire.

As far as the guild losing members because they wouldn't let 2 lvl 81's go....actually, I hate to say it, but they probably weren't geared enough. (I know that sounds odd, but at 80, I was in all 264 gear, which was much better than fresh 81's in todays world who are still wearing some LK blues and Cata greens). But having said that, since they only wanted "experienced" people, they could have easily carried a guildie or two through it if everyone else knew what they were doing.

We carried a level 82 through it and his gear was crap (that just means his dps isn't up to par, he dies faster than he should, etc). But heck we can and have 7 manned most of ICC. It was only when we got to LK that we had to bring in that extra dps.

So while your guild leader or raid leader is making a point that those lvl 81's don't belong in ICC (and he'd be correct), it's pretty crappy of him because if you can do it with empty slots, there's no reason he couldn't bring at least 1 (possibly even both) along.

And congrats on 82!!! Keep on rollin!!

 

[LuvSnowWhite]

Ya BCB congrats. Do you use zygor or anything? How I find out my gear score. I'm 71 with my hunter almost 72. I'm in Coldarra right now and I finally got to see Dalaran. I feel so behind everybody bec you all have been playing for "years" and not me. (I'm deciding if I'll transfer her to WW or start a new one). Is there a good horde guild on there? My hunter is Alliance but I want to try both sides. Anyway BCB you forgot to mention what you hate about Rift?

 

[Big Cuddly Bear]

I don't really know what I don't like about Rift.... maybe it feels more sci-fi than fantasy. And you have "faeries" as healers... But if you play WoW, rift is install and play.... almost no learning curve. And they really PUSH you to group up in Rift. I mean REALLY PUSH you.

Gear score, is now Item Level, which you can check in your character screen. I'm up to 298 and 1 quest - I think - away from finishing Hyjal. Then I get my first BOA when I go buy it...other than the guild tabard for being friendly with the guild.

Well now, all of my guild's officers gquit today because the GM seems to not want the guild to be a hardcore raiding guild - which is just fine with me. So I am the only officer left in the guild. We lost about 7 officers over the last 3 weeks. I'm doing whatever I can to make the guild more social... Ventrillo is the problem I think... I think that those who hang out in ventrillo seem to only want to associate with others in vent. Personally, I hate ventrillo. But I see the need for raiders to use it.
